20 ^aTherefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock shall¹ draw them out;
Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them. ‡

21 ^aThe earth shakes at the noise of their fall;
At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea. ‡

23 ^aAgainst Damascus.
^b“Hamath and Arpad are shamed,
For they have heard bad news.
They are fainthearted;
^cThere is¹ trouble on the sea;
It cannot be quiet. ‡

24 Damascus has grown feeble;
She turns to flee,
And fear has seized her.
^aAnguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in¹ labor. ‡
